Chapter 338: 198. Redefine what it means to be a Demon Cultivator_2

Tan Shuchang intentionally said this and deliberately mentioned his own ascension. The last time he brought it up in front of the Yin God at the Ghost Ridge, the other party didn’t seem to care much about it.

Therefore, Tan Shuchang wanted to try again.

“It’s inexplicable to just arrive at the Land of the Four Pillars? Fellow Daoist, you didn’t ascend through the regular three verifications, nor did you walk the path of ascension?” At this, the others, after hearing these words, revealed expressions of great joy.

“Fellow Daoist, we are our own people!”

“Fellow Daoist, hold on before you act, I swear in the name of Bijing Heavenly Authority, we really are our own people!”

“Fellow Daoist, please hear me out briefly. Ascensions like yours usually involve the intervention of a True Immortal. Currently, there happens to be a layout by a powerful True Immortal to enable fellow Daoists of the Immortal Clan to come out and govern the world with legitimacy!”

Fearing that the ruthless demon cultivator before them, due to their long talk or disbelief in their words, might take action, these several people hurriedly shared all the information they knew, each speaking in turn.

Seeing that his intentional words had taken effect, Tan Shuchang couldn’t help but feel slightly moved; he now understood why Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo had suddenly come to the Land of the Four Pillars.

Then, he thought of Nangong Tianshuang, who was probably also the handiwork of some True Immortal.

Indeed, he had been right not to take that Heavenly Book initially!

“The Pill Treasure Fan in my hand is likely also intended to prepare the Immortal Clan to come out with legitimacy, but I’m not sure which part of it…” Tan Shuchang linked all the clues together.

Seeing Tan Shuchang begin to ponder, these several people couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and thus shared even more information: “Fellow Daoist, our words are true, if you don’t believe us, you can wait a bit longer. Soon, this Land of the Four Pillars will clearly be in complete chaos. According to our sources, the Shushan Immortal Sect has already encountered two beings like you. These two will definitely play a significant role in this chaos and in the matter of the emergence of the Immortal Clan.”

“Then, should I also go to the Shushan Immortal Sect?” Tan Shuchang asked, feigning indecision.

“No need! Absolutely no need! Since you’ve encountered us, you should naturally join us!” Upon hearing this, these people denied quickly.

“Join fellow Daoists?”

“Exactly. By the way, please wait a moment, fellow Daoist, we will now swear oaths!” The leader among these people began to swear: “In the presence of the Heavenly Authority above, and under Silver Dragon Dao Palace, Lin Chen prays for divine salvation. Faced with mortal troubles, I therefore swear, I, Lin Chen, will speak only the truth, without omission, from now on, and will not trouble the fellow Daoist I have met today!”

As this person’s oath concluded, the others immediately followed suit, their oaths broadly similar though slightly different in minor details.

And as these several people all swore their oaths, Tan Shuchang saw the Power of the Heavenly Authority descend in the form of several bindings that fell upon these people.

The oaths were successfully made.

“Fellow Daoist, our Silver Dragon Dao Palace is also one of the notable Dao lineages under Bijing Heavenly Authority. If you go with us, you will certainly not be at a loss,” the person, Lin Chen, leading the others, hurriedly said to Tan Shuchang now that the oaths had been taken.

“By going with a few fellow Daoists, can fellow Daoists obtain benefits?” Tan Shuchang asked directly.

“The rewards of the Dao Palace are naturally generous, but more importantly, we are pushing forward the world-governing ascension of the Immortal Clan, a merit-based act. Therefore, once the Immortal Clan arrives and rewards are distributed for merit, we will certainly be credited.” Lin Chen replied without hesitation.

And as Lin Chen spoke of merit rewards and contributions concerning the Immortal Clan, his excitement visibly surged.

Tan Shuchang suddenly understood why the three people from Shushan Immortal Sect, upon discovering the origins of Ning Shuqi and Jun Zimo, had been so polite and directly taken the two back to Shushan Immortal Sect.

It was for a double reward!

“Since fellow Daoists have such benefits, seeing as we met, could Tan Someone also receive a share?” Tan Shuchang said at this time.

Upon hearing Tan Shuchang’s words, Lin Chen and the others were momentarily stunned but also came to a deeper understanding of the demon cultivator from the Mortal Realm.

Apart from being ruthless, capricious, hypocritical, and deceitful, he was also extraordinarily greedy!

“May I ask what you desire? Although I, Lin Chen, am not as skilled as you, fellow Daoist, I do have some resources.” Lin Chen gritted his teeth and said.

In order to claim a share of merit during the Immortal Clan’s reward distribution, he decided to invest heavily next time!

After all, as long as he was listed in the Book of Merits, even if it cost him everything he had, it would be worth it.

“Tan Someone needs a magical artifact,” Tan Shuchang said because he felt that these people could provide such an item. Although there was also a great chance of obtaining Immortal Pills, Tan Shuchang dared not consume them.

Therefore, after much consideration, a magical artifact was the most suitable choice.

Even if the artifact contained the opponent’s tricks, Tan Shuchang was not afraid, for he was planning to use it for the Kui ox under his command.

At worst, he would just replace his subordinate.

“A magical artifact?”

Upon hearing Tan Shuchang speak thus, Lin Chen and his companions immediately looked relieved and simultaneously turned their gazes toward one of their own.

Then, Lin Chen said, “I still have three Xuan Yin Immortal Pills. When we return, I’ll give you two of them.”

“Thank you, Brother Lin!”

The one watched by the others, upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, could not contain his joy and then took out a hammer.

“Brother Dao, I obtained this by a fortunate coincidence, less than a year ago. Although I know the method for refining it, I haven’t fully refined it yet due to insufficient cultivation. Brother Dao, you just need to follow the method written on it to completely refine this magical artifact,” he said, taking out a piece of bamboo slip.

“Good, since my fellow Daoists are straightforward, Tan Someone will accompany you fellows on a trip!” Tan Shuchang accepted the items and was ready to get started.

After all, he never intended to go to the Silver Dragon Dao Palace from the beginning.

These people could transform into ghosts after death!

If all these people turned into Yin Gods, then he would fulfill the needs for this lotus-lifting occasion.

However, just as Tan Shuchang was about to make his move, Lin Chen spoke again, “Brother Dao was previously puzzled by our manner of speaking, but this is only natural. If Brother Dao encounters more cultivators under the Heavenly Authority like us, it won’t feel strange, for all of us act this way.”

“Why is that?” Tan Shuchang paused his actions and the surrounding anomalies dissipated, but the Heavenless Dharma Realm had already manifested.

After all, these people were key to his intense cultivation upgrade!

“No matter our origins or backgrounds, we are not like ordinary cultivators. Therefore, it is only right for us to hold ourselves in high regard when facing ordinary cultivators! They are the lowly ones, while we are the superior ones!” Lin Chen said with a smile, “Brother Dao, you caught the eye of a True Immortal and made it to the Land of the Four Pillars, so your background must also be quite distinguished, perhaps even better than ours.”

“Although that may be the case, this is still not in keeping with propriety!” Tan Shuchang said.

“Do you prefer to adhere to propriety?” Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was astounded.

You, a heartless Demon Cultivator, speak of impropriety? Could it be that after you killed your master, calling him ‘honored master’ was considered proper?

“What’s wrong?” Tan Shuchang raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Nothing much, just that if Brother Dao likes to adhere to propriety, you could also be more accommodating toward others. This way, if there comes a time when it is needed, you could use this to protect yourself once.” Lin Chen quickly said, but this statement was clearly somewhat off-topic.

“Protect myself with this?” Tan Shuchang, upon hearing this, naturally felt surprised.

Because the causal relationship between the two was difficult to connect.

“Have you ever heard the saying, ‘Use the will of the people to protect oneself’?”
